 Well, what you are doing is only illegal if you or your cousin are minors at this point. Then her family would be right to step in.
If not minors, then you have better be freakin serious about her, otherwise a broken relationship with your cousin will affect larger family dynamics.
In the past cousins did marry, but most of those cases were arranged marriage and divorce in those families were not options. You are playing with fire, and I can understand their concern.
Depending on how close your extended family is, you are dating someone that if this does not work out, you will have to see at every gathering *(wedding, funeral, holidays)...this is a bigger risk than the average relationship, and your youth works against you in the odds that this will last.
Unless you are serious about marriage, consider ending it.
Otherwise, be ready to be held accountable for the family breakup. You will have to be very strong to handle that, as you will stand alone.
